Saint Jerome in the Wilderness

About this work

You see a man sitting in a desert, surrounded by rocks and trees. He's Saint Jerome, a saint who lived in the wilderness. The painting has a simple landscape with a few objects, like a book and a lion. The artist used broad brushstrokes to create the scene. This style is a bit different from other paintings of the time. The brushstrokes are not very detailed, which makes the painting look a bit plain. The artist who made this painting worked in a style similar to the technique of glazing.
